Give Me a Book: First Drop of Crimson

First Drop of Crimson

by Jeaniene Frost.

This is a new spin off from the world Frost began in her Night Huntress series. It features Cat's best friend, now a widow after losing her husband in the last Night Huntress book.

I really had a hard time getting into it. I missed Cat and Bones. I honestly expected better things from this pairing and I guess maybe my high expectations led me to be let down.

All in all it was an okay book and I'm glad I read it, just because it takes place in the same universe, but I'm glad I got it from the library (which seems to be a familiar theme for me with regular authors lately. Maybe I'm getting jaded, or are the series becoming predictable? Hmmm.)

My rating system:

5 Stars: Super rare rating from me. It was amazing! I loved it, got completely lost in the story and will re-read it at least yearly. Give me all the books from this author, now!

4 Stars: Somewhat rare rating. I really liked it. It really worked for me and I will likely read it again. When is the next book out?!

3 Stars: I liked it. It was a good book, with good characters and plot. I may even read it again at some point. The next book immediately goes on my TBR list.

2 Stars: It was ok. I read it, I mostly liked it, but something bothered me enough that I couldn't truly get into it. I will probably check this author out from the library in the future, since even a great author can write a bad book.

1 Star: Ugh. This one is pretty rare, too. I did not like it, it was absolutely forgettable, convoluted or unbelievable. It may even be so bad that I did not finish it! I probably won't read anymore of the series (though I may give the author another chance if they write something new).

*One thing that makes me automatically downrate a book: A love triangle, especially if they aren't cleared up quickly. They make the female look wishy-washy and the men look like idiots for putting up with it.*
